When was the first time you remember identifying yourself as a feminist? I remember the cops coming to my home to when I was a kid during a domestic and telling my mum she had to leave her home & take the kids with her, because they couldn't make the "man of the house" leave his own home. This made me angry and sad at the injustice women face in securing the safety of their families, and the acceptance of domestic violence as a woman's burden to bear. I've seen so much change in regards to awareness around domestic violence since then, but there are constant reminders that the struggle is far from over.
